It shall be this one's duty to offer recipes and menus. These will be easy to follow, and tested to be good enough that a slave would allow his Master to serve it to Master's Guests and reflect only the best of his Master.

Club Goldenrod Mac & Cheese Supreme

This
is a quick and hearty way to dress up the old macaroni and cheese
dinner into something to talk about.
Most
of this is in the pantry, some things like the frozen shrimp can be
found easily at your local supermart.

This
dish is named for the old “Club Goldenrod magazine”. Mostly
forgotten now but was an important part of our LGBT history. Read the
quick article about this publication after the recipe.

Ingredients:

1
box mac & cheese

½
lbs frozen shrimp, peeled & cooked (tiny)

1
cup non-fat half & half

1
ounce cream cheese, at room temperature

¼
teaspoon powdered garlic

½
cup cheddar cheese shredded

½
cup Fontina cheese

3
pieces of American cheese torn up into small pieces

1
egg yolk

Directions:

Heat
water and cook the pasta from the Mac & Cheese box according to
directions, and drain.

In
a sauce pan heat the half & half, cream cheese and garlic salt in
a medium
high heat.
As the edges start to bubble, gently whisk until it is evenly
incorporated, about
1 minute.
Allow to cook for 10 minutes
so the mixture thickens.

Mix
the egg yolk into the shredded cheddar cheese. Add to sauce pan a
little at a time while stirring, then add the other cheeses, maybe a
pinch of mustard powder. Mix in the thawed shrimp.

Add
this to pasta and mix well. Pour into baking dish and bake uncovered
for about 30 minutes or until top starts to get golden edges.

Meanwhile
for a side dish, saute some green beans and serve with sliced
tomatoes.

This
makes a great colorful meal that livens up the old fashioned mac &
Cheese dinner.

We
might remember the Damron guides in the days before the internet.
(This organization is still going strong as a travel site). Yet back
in the day if you were traveling to a different city, you checked out
the “Damron” for listing of gay and lesbian bars, It would say
the type of bar: “levi and leather”, “show”, “AF” models,
“hustler”,etc as well as known cruising locations. Of course all
at your own risk!

Another
pre-grindr resource was the “Club
Goldenrod”, advertised
as a magazine for male swingers.

This
mostly forgotten publication was full of classified ads. Just the
place to find other horny and/or closeted men looking for sex.

Club
Goldenrod was considered porn in itself with photos of well endowed
men showing their glory. These were not the typical gym bunnies or
“macho look”, just the real men needing that special
“companionship”. Guys that referred to themselves as fluent in
“Greek” or “French” and that did not mean the language!

There
were even a few transvestite ads. The advertisers were broken up into
the states they served.

For
those brave enough to pay by the word,were assigned a CG mailbox
number for replies to be sent back by mail.

Some
would send pics but never
with a face.

If
you saw an ad that sparked your interest, you'd write a letter to the
man advertising, place your letter in an envelope and write the ad
number on the front and then place that into another envelope and
Club Goldenrod would forward your letter to the ad number owner.
